Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in the Congo can refer to either: Rugby union in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Rugby union in the Republic of the Congo. Rugby union in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a minor but growing sport. The national union is a member of the Confederation of African Rugby, but not of the International Rugby Board. Rugby in the Democratic Republic of the Congo suffers from a number of hindrances, such as lack of good transport networks, general infrastructure, political instability and war, and also the extreme poverty of the country, which means it is difficult for it to maintain a proper national league structure. The DRC is a particularly large country, at 2,344,858 km2 (the 12th largest in the world), but without the necessary economy to maintain it. Rugby is centred on the national capital, Kinshasa. Like many African countries, thehistorical connection with France is a mixed blessing. For a number of years, Congolese rugby players would leave to play there, which deprived rugby in the DRC of any real competition.
